Hi Adam,

The documentation does not explicitly say so, but I think it is safe to
assume that Boost.Bimap iterators remain valid under any circumstance
(except, naturally, when the element they point to is erased) given that
this library is a wrapper over Boost.MultiIndex, where this guarantee
is officially provided by each type of index.

You might want to file a ticket asking for Boost.Bimap docs to
clarifiy this.
